"Do you really understand them? The name might be a little misleading, because sprites arenâ?t little images like
you might be picturing, a sprite is actually one big image. Have you ever seen the CSS technique where the â?oeonâ?
and â?oeoffâ? states of a button are contained within the same image and are activated by shifting the
background-position? Think of CSS Sprites as an extension of that technique. The difference is that instead of just two
or three images being combined into one, you can combine an unlimited number of images into one."
